Members are required to attend a session to join, and we encourage newcomers to RSVP and introduce themselves before attending their first meeting. Please note, we hold multiple sessions for each book. They're the same session - so you just need to RSVP to one!

July Book Club Meetup: The Correspondent by Virginia Evans
Brewhouse & Kitchen - Highbury, 2A Corsica Street, London, GBLondon's Friendly Book Club's pick for July is The Correspondent by Virginia Evans.
Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2026
Every morning, Sybil Van Antwerp sits down to write letters – to her brother, to her best friend, to the president of the university who will not allow her to attend a class she desperately wants to take, to her favourite authors to tell them what she thinks of their latest books, and to one person to whom she writes often yet never sends the letter.
Because at seventy-three, Sybil has used her correspondence – witty and wise – to make sense of the world. But beyond the page, she has spent the last thirty years keeping the people who love her at arms’ length... until letters from someone in her past force her to examine one of the most painful periods of her life.
Now, Sybil must send the letter she has been writing for all these years - and find forgiveness within herself in order to move on.
Sybil Van Antwerp’s life of letters might be ‘a very small thing’, but she also might be one of the most memorable characters you will ever read.Please only RSVP if you think you'll be able to make this event. We host three sessions per book, you only need to attend one.
Everyone is welcome! Grab your copy and join us for a relaxed and engaging discussion.
